Denpasar — Bali’s calendar identifies Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, as Sukra Kliwon Bala and lists house construction among activities considered unsuitable on that day.
The designation comes from the Balinese calendar’s daily assessment, known as ala ayuning dewasa, which records activities regarded as favorable or unfavorable for particular dates. The reports describe the restriction as a calendar-based cultural designation, not as a government construction order or a legal prohibition.
Why the calendar matters to readers in Bali
For foreign residents, visitors and property owners, the entry provides cultural context for scheduling ceremonies or construction-related work in Bali. The reports do not state that authorities will stop building, impose a fine or otherwise enforce the calendar entry. They say only that building a house is considered unsuitable under the day’s listed guidance.
The calendar entry names the day Sukra Kliwon Bala. One report also identifies Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, as Kajeng Kliwon. The daily guidance includes Carik Walangati, described as unsuitable for marriage ceremonies, cremation ceremonies and building a house. The reports present these as traditional classifications within the Balinese calendar.
The information concerns the date itself: Friday, Sept. 25, 2026. The reports do not state what happens next, announce a change to building regulations or identify an official government measure connected with the calendar entry.
